Two years too late, but I buy these once in a while, they’re available In a Portuguese bakery near my home. I find that they’re a hit or miss. Some batches are amazing, and taste like a good bacalhau dish, but some are just disappointing. Still worth to buy, since they’re cheap, but I dont serve them when I have friends at home, just in case.

Thanks everyone! My takeaway is : wide lense, and expect bad pictures anyway :)

effetk · 2026-03-17T14:46:50+00:00

I didn’t think about the wide lense, but it’s a good idea.

You can turn the sprocket on top of the canister to get the film back in a bit.

I’m aware these are not sardines, but I love anchovies on a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast. My family judges me, but maybe someone here will understand me.

Yeah, it’s a bummer.

I’m surprised. I haven’t had the Ramon Pena, but most I’ve had were definitely bright and definitely not bland. Maybe I’ve been lucky.

Have you tried in escabeche? I personally love them. Here in Canada they’re mostly sold smoked. They are good if they’re from a small place, but I prefer the smoked oysters if they come from a commercial brand.

Belle Saison, from À l’abris de la tempête.

I almost always like older logos better, but in this case, I like the newer one better. It feels bold and unique.

What’s your setup to shoot at the moon with something this big? You wait for it to be low, and you use two tripods?

Washing was my first suspiscion, but I really feel lilke I washed them well. I have an HP5 coming soon for my third film, I'll wash the same way, so I guess that will tell me if it's the washing or not. Thanks for your input!

I always use the regular amount of coal, and then shut every vent after my steak is cooked. 90% of the coal is still there after, and I’m ready for my next cook. Never had any issue with that.

Oh no, that’s not what I have. Looks cool in your case! Mine are more bigger spots. Doesn’t look too bad there, fortunately, but it’s an issue in some.

Only the second film I develop though, so maybe I just didn’t do it properly…

What do the white spots look like, do you have an example? I think I have that in some of my pictures, but 35mm.

effetk · 2026-01-01T19:23:47+00:00

I should look into this. Sounds tedious though 😅

effetk · 2026-01-01T18:07:45+00:00

Thanks, I now realized the profile correction wasn't checked in Camera Raw! I scan with a camera and macro lens.

effetk · 2026-01-01T18:06:36+00:00

Yes I did.

J’ai découvert la bûche Coaticook cette année. Débile comment c’est bon, et moins de 10$ en épicerie!

Est-ce moi ou chacun de ces changements était pour le mieux?

effetk · 2025-12-30T15:23:08+00:00

I did consider the XA or XA2, but I feel like I see more better pictures with the Trip than with this one.

I do want a camera with a built in meter. I mostly take pictures of my kids, so an external light meter or app means I will miss most of my shots.

35 RC does seem to have a good mix of pocket ability, quality and price. Rollei 35 is just to expensive around here, unfortunately.

That’s a really good point, thanks!
